Realizing Our Brilliant Future
UC Irvine's strategic plan represents a pioneering vision for our brilliant future. In order to transform that vision into a reality, DFA has developed nine broad strategic priorities encompassing dozens of divisional and unit goals. From streamlining financial processes to creating high-quality digital experiences and enhancing community partnerships, DFA is building the foundation for UC Irvine’s brilliant future.
We invite you to use the interactive dashboard below to track our progress. If the text is too small, click the double-sided arrow in the bottom right corner of the dashboard to enlarge it. You can sort the table of goals by any column or drill down to view a specific unit by selecting it in the bar chart. Doing so will update all elements of the dashboard, allowing you to explore that unit's goal status and health in the charts at the top. Finally, you can switch between divisional and unit goals using the tabs in the top left corner of the dashboard.
"Our commitment to a divisional strategic plan positions us to not only enhance organizational performance but also foster a culture of innovation and process improvement, adaptability, and resilience."
